This quote from 1 Thessalonians 5:21 is meant to encourage all parishes of the Diocese of New Westminster to reinvest in growing communities of faith in Jesus Christ to serve God’s mission in the world. The theme draws our attention to four areas in our Diocesan Vision Priorities: 1) to walk with Indigenous Peoples through the exploration of First Peoples Learning Principles; 2) to ensure Financial Stability by using innovative approaches to meet our current and future challenges; 3) to commit to Engaging Diversity through the awareness of anti-racism, and 4) to celebrating the successes of Developing Parishes. Interactive presentations, table discussions and feed- back will be used to foster an atmosphere of learning, discovery and dialogue. And we are also pleased that Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada has kindly agreed to lead Synod at Morning Prayer and preach on these subJects on Saturday. Prayer for Synod Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel in the Synod of this diocese for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honour and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen . 3 Synod Convening Circular 2017 The Diocese of New Westminster Officers of Synod President of the Synod The Right Reverend Melissa M. Skelton Dean of the Diocese The Very Reverend Peter G.

    Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD

    Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD Until 1870 the vast area which is now northern Quebec and Ontario, the prairies, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and portions of British Columbia was known as Rupert's Land. Prince Rupert, with sixteen associates, who were incorporated by Letters Patent as the Honourable the Hudson's Bay Company, was granted this vast territory in 1670 by King Charles 11. The new trading company acquired a region extending over 2,700,000 square miles. To protect its lucrative and increasing fur trade, the company successfully resisted attempts to colonize the territory. No effort was made to minister to the few Christian people in the widely scattered forts of the Hudson's Bay Company or to evangelize the native peoples until the early nineteenth century. In 1820, some six years after the tenacious Orkney Islanders established an agricultural settlement on the banks of the Red River, guided there by the Earl of Selkirk, the company sent out an Anglican chaplain, the Reverend John West (1778-1846). Although West was appointed to minister to the company's officers and servants, he also looked after the needs of the small Scottish colony and took great interest in the Indians. He established a school in the Red River settlement on a lot of land set apart for church purposes by thecompany (on which the Cathedral Church of St. John now stands in Winnipeg). West's efforts laid the foundations for missionary work and also marked the beginning of formal education in Manitoba. The small school he began in 1820 was followed by the Red River Academy, founded by John Macallurn and revived by Bishop David Anderson.

Where your Church is poor, enrich and empower it; where there is need for clergy, call them forth; where it is spread thin by geography, bind it with cords of love; where there is confl ict, bring reconciliation. Give to us, with all our brothers and sisters, that due sense of fellowship in your Kingdom, that you may be glorifi ed in all your saints, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen. Th e Council of the North is a grouping of fi nancially assisted dioceses, which are supported through grants by General Synod. Th ere are 9 dioceses, the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior and the Archdeaconry of Labrador. In these parts of the country, costs, particularly of travel, are high and fi nancial resources are scarce.

    Council of the North Prayer Cycle

    Council of the North Prayer Cycle The Council of the North began in 1970 when the National Executive Council of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada appointed a taskforce to consider the challenges and opportunities for ministry in the northern parts of Canada. The following year this taskforce was replaced with the Primate’s Task- force on the Church in the North. In 1973 this taskforce became the Primate’s Council on the North. By 1976 this body had evolved into the present Council of the North. The Council of the North is made up of all bishops of the assisted diocese. They administer the General Synod’s grants for northern mission. The council meets twice a year to consider the needs of the mission and ministry of the Church in the north. It reports to both the Council of General Synod and to the meeting of The shaded area highlights the geography of the Council General Synod. of the North. 85% of the land. 15 % of the people.

We love as Jesus loves, living with integrity and openness, and are committed stewards of God’s world.” [Approved May, 2011] FROM THE CONSTITUTIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE ANGLICAN PARISHES OF THE CENTRAL INTERIOR (June 2002) These three affirmations have guided us as we became the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior: • We affirm that the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior needs to gather together as a family of God. • We affirm that this time of transition has been given to us as a gift to explore possible new directions towards which the Spirit might be calling us. • We affirm that God is calling us to share in Jesus’ ministry of healing and reconciliation. These affirmations form a kind of mission statement, but are not exhaustive. They help us to honour the ongoing task of discerning our ministry and mission together. We acknowledge our desire to walk faithfully on a path in which we carry the best of who we were into a living and holy present and towards an unknown and hopeful future. As you pray for persons, parishes and ministries, keep at the heart of your prayer an openness to listen to the direction God calls us to travel together.

Skelton Elected the 12th Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC & Yukon RANDY MURRAY (WITH FILES FROM DOUGLAS MACADAMS, QC, ODNW) Communications Officer & Topic Editor Melissa M. Skelton, Bishop of the diocese of New West- minster was elected Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon on the first ballot at 9:40am on Saturday, May 12, 2018. That office comes with the honorific, “Archbishop.” Archbishop Skelton is the first woman to be elected an Archbishop in the Anglican Church of Canada and the second woman in the Anglican Communion with the title Archbishop. The Most Rev. Kay Maree Goldsworthy was elected Archbishop of Perth in the Anglican Province of Western Australia through a similar process to the Electoral College method used by the Ecclesiastical Province of BC/ Yukon. Archbishop Goldsworthy was installed February 10, 2018. The Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori was elected June 18, 2006 to a ten-year term as Presiding Bishop (Pri- mate) of the Episcopal Church but that office does not come with the title, Archbishop. The Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon is one of four Provinces that comprise the Anglican Church of Canada and is made up of six dioceses: • Yukon • Caledonia (northern British Columbia) • Territory of the People (central British Columbia, formerly the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior and prior to that, diocese of Cariboo) • Kootenay (the eastern part of British Columbia including the Okanagan) • British Columbia (Vancouver Island and the coastal islands) • New Westminster (the urban and suburban communities of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley including the Sunshine Coast, from Powell River to Hope).
